10.14.09 STOP IT WITH THE JOHN DALY TALK
Anthony Kim, at age 24, is grabbing life by the Titleists. He’s ranked among the top 50 golfers in the world. He has earned, in my opinion, to do whatever he wants, as people that enjoy his level of success can (and should) do. But none of this really matters to Aussie Robert Allenby, who apparently is in bed by nine every night and only kisses women on the mouth with no tongue. Prude.
“Maybe we should all take the theory of Anthony Kim,” Allenby said. “Get home at 4 o’clock (in the morning) and then go shoot 6 under.”
Asked if his comments were on the record, Allenby said, “I don’t care. Ask his playing partners. Ask his team. He is the loosest cannon in that team.”
Allenby went on to call the 24-year-old Kim golf’s “current John Daly.” via, via.
Dick. And he’s jumping the gun just a smidge. John Daly has battled his desire for alcohol, gambling and women for years, and failed miserably. Kim got drunk for one night. Allegedly. And while Kim may not enjoy the anonymity that some of us had in accumulating “life experience,” he’s still free to do so at his own peril. After all, waking up face down in a gutter with your pants around your ankles with no recollection of the last ten hours is a part of life. Pants are overrated, anyway.

If Kim is golf’s “current John Daly” he’d be at Hooters every night.
C’mon give him a break. The Japanese drink because it’s part of their culture.
Don’t you hate pants?
I think the tour needs more John Daly’s and less snooty Aussies.
He’s just pissed because while his grandfather was getting bombed on Foster’s, Kim’s dad was bombing Pearl Harbor.
I’d rather be a Loose Cannon than a Sex Cannon.
Didn’t the Japanese save the Aussies’ asses in World War II? Show a little gratitude, Allenby.
Also, what kind of shitty journalist asks if something “on the record” after the fact? Did he say it was “off the record” before he said it? No? Then it’s on the fucking record.

I love how my whole joke was that he’s Japanese (he’s really Korean) and everyone followed suit.
He’s actually American. His father was Korean but Anthony was born in L.A. raised in Dallas and went to OU…that’s pretty American.
But as the great Andrew Dice Clay would say “What’s the Fuckin’ difference!!!!”
Who cares what Robert Allenby has to say? This is the same guy who threw his own hometown under the bus a couple of years ago. He couldn’t get it right if he made three left turns.
